MILWAUKEE — A bankruptcy judge threw out nine of the ten sex abuse claims in the Milwaukee Archdiocese bankruptcy case Thursday.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Judge Kelley said seven of the victims didn’t show evidence of fraud, and two others had already been dismissed by state courts.

The Archdiocese responded by saying in part “These rulings now allow the Archdiocese to move forward with its plan of reorganization to finally emerge from Chapter 11 and return its focus to its charitable, educational, and spiritual mission.”
